Blue Silver Guard
The Blue Silver King's main trunk began to shrink.
It started as thick as several people could hug, gradually shrinking to the thickness of a bucket, then an arm, and finally becoming an ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Blue Silver King condensed all his life energy into a single point, transforming it into a black Soul Ring that slowly rose.
The black was incredibly deep, so black it shone, like a black sun, radiating a chilling sense of oppression.
A 90,000-year-old Soul Ring fell from Tang San's head and landed on his body.
A surge of vital energy flowed into my body, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing through my meridians to my limbs and bones.
Tang San's body shuddered violently, every muscle, every bone, and every meridian was being washed, transformed, and strengthened by this energy.
He sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and guided the energy into his body.
The Blue Silver King's energy was gentle and profound, without a trace of violence, like a kind elder who passed on his life's cultivation to his descendants without reservation.
On the other side, Ye Lingling experienced the same thing.
Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Shui Bing'er stood not far away, quietly guarding them.
Ye Lingling was the first to complete the absorption.
When she opened her eyes, her Fifth Soul Ring was slowly pulsating beneath her feet: two yellow, two purple, and one black.
Her aura was much stronger than before, and her Soul Power fluctuations were also more profound.
My Soul Power has increased from level 50 to level 52.
Her Soul Skills all have only one effect: area-of-effect healing, purification, Soul Power recovery, and attribute enhancement for the entire party.
The special feature of the Nine Heart Begonia Emperor lies in this.
The higher the age of the Soul Ring, the greater the healing, purification, recovery, and enhancement effects.
This Blue Silver Grass Soul Ring, which is over 20,000 years old, significantly enhances her healing abilities and range.
It also has the ability to purify negative effects, removing toxins, curses, weakness, and other negative statuses from teammates.
Soul Power recovery speed increased threefold, and all attributes increased by thirty percent.
Ye Lingling stood up, glanced at Tang San, then at the Blue Silver Grass that had turned into a seedling, and bowed deeply to the seedling.
Then she stepped aside and waited quietly for Tang San.
An hour later, Tang San finally finished absorbing the nutrients.
A 90,000-year-old Soul Ring has an enormous amount of energy, and even with Tang San's physical strength, it would take time to digest it.
The Sixth Soul Ring pulsed slowly beneath his feet, its brilliance complementing the other five Soul Rings: one yellow, two purple, and three black.
Tang San's Soul Power climbed from level 60 all the way up, eventually stopping at level 64.
The 90,000-year-old Soul Ring, combined with the immense life energy contained in the Blue Silver King's sacrifice, directly boosted his Soul Power by four levels.
The lifespan of the External Soul Bones "Dreamlike Illusion Eyes" and "Thunder God's Heart" has been increased to 60,000 years and 50,000 years respectively.
The increase in Spiritual Power has been significantly improved, and the duration of the invincible state has increased to six seconds.
Tang San opened his eyes, a blue-gold light flashing within them.
Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Guard.
Tang San can cast this skill on anyone, including himself, instantly restoring 60% of the target's health and Soul Power, healing all injuries, and removing all negative status effects.
Additionally, it grants a "Life Shield" that lasts for ten seconds, capable of absorbing damage equal to fifty percent of the target's maximum health.
This Soul Skill is a top-tier healing and survival skill.
Instantly restores 60% of health and Soul Power, plus Life Shield that absorbs 50% of damage within ten seconds, enough to revive any dying teammate and allow them to continue fighting.
Moreover, like his Fifth Soul Ring Soul Ring, this Soul Ring's age can increase as his strength improves, making it essentially his second natal Soul Ring.
The Fifth Soul Ring, Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and the Sixth Soul Ring, Blue Silver Guard, both have a current age of 90,000 years.
In other words, as long as Tang San's strength reaches that level in the future, his fifth and Sixth Soul Rings will both break through 100,000 years and turn red.
With each increase in age, the recovery rate and the damage absorbed by the shield will also increase.
If one day both of these Soul Rings become 100,000-year level, the instant recovery rate may increase from 60% to 80% or even 100%.
The absorption rate of the Life Shield may also be increased from fifty percent to even higher.
The Fifth Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, represents the pinnacle of single-target attack, Sixth Soul Ring, the Blue Silver Guard, represents the pinnacle of single-target healing and defense.
One attacks, one defends; one spear, one shield—they complement each other perfectly.
Tang San stood up and looked at the Blue Silver King in its seedling form.
That was the Blue Silver King's life continuing in another form; it wasn't death, but rebirth.
One day, it will grow back into that towering Blue Silver King.
Beside the seedling, a blue-gold skeleton remained.
It was also a right leg bone, crystal clear throughout, with golden patterns flowing across its surface, exuding a rich life force.
Tang San bowed deeply to the seedling, as if making a vow.
Then he bent down, picked up the Soul Bone, and held it in his palm.
He turned around, walked up to Ye Lingling, and handed her the Soul Bone.
"This is Soul Bone left behind by the Blue Silver King. I already have a right leg bone, so this Soul Bone is the most suitable for you to absorb," Tang San said.
Ye Lingling knew Tang San's personality; there was no need to refuse what he had decided.
She nodded, took the Soul Bone with both hands, and held it in her palms.
"Absorb it now."
Ye Lingling nodded, sat down cross-legged, and placed the Soul Bone against her right calf.
A brilliant blue-gold light shone brightly, enveloping her entire right leg in a dazzling glow.
She closed her eyes, her Soul Power circulating within her body, guiding the energy from her Soul Bone into her own.
Tang San and the others stood beside her, quietly guarding her.
An hour later, Ye Lingling opened her eyes.
Her aura was slightly stronger than before, her spirit was more vigorous, and her Soul Power had increased to level 54.
Blue Silver King Right Leg Bone technique, Blue Silver Armor.
Lasting for thirty seconds, it provides a shield to itself or a teammate equal to fifty percent of Ye Lingling's maximum health, and while the shield is active, the teammate's movement speed is increased by twenty percent.
This skill is somewhat similar to Tang San's sixth Soul Skill, "Life Shield," but Tang San's Soul Skill also has a recovery effect.
The two also have different focuses. Tang San's shield is more focused on acting on damage-dealing front-line teammates, Ye Lingling's shield is more focused on protecting herself or fragile teammates.
As expected of the Blue Silver King, the guardian of the Blue Silver Clan, his Soul Skills and Soul Bone Skill are all related to protection.
Both Tang San's Blue Silver Guard and Ye Lingling's Blue Silver Armor exist for the purpose of protection.
After everything was settled, the five of them stood where the Blue Silver King had transformed into a seedling and bowed deeply to the small Blue Silver Grass.
Then the five of them headed towards the outer edge of the Blue Silver Forest. Xiao Wu was the first to ask, "Third Brother, where are we going next?"
Tang San smiled and said, "Next, we'll go to the Frozen Forest to hunt a suitable Fifth Soul Ring for Bing'er."
Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up.
The Frozen Forest, located at the northernmost tip of the continent, is covered in ice and snow year-round.
There are a large number of ice-attribute Soul Beasts there, making it the best place for Shui Bing'er to obtain her Fifth Soul Ring.
Tang San took Shui Bing'er's hand and continued, "In the past six months, Bing'er has also consumed several pieces of Whale Rubber. With Bing'er's current physique, Soul Power Level, and Martial Soul quality, plus the Spiritual Power enhancement from the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, I am confident that she can absorb an ice attribute Soul Ring of more than 20,000 years."
The four girls nodded in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing.
Six months of intensive training, six months of living and working together, and six months of growing together.
Now, it's time to leave this forest.
